    Duration of ownership: 2 Years

    Strengths: Keeps your programs updated from a security standpoint (only); it is not a "FileHippo" updater

    Weaknesses: Sometimes lists insecure programs more than once, and doesn't always recognize that you have downloaded updates.

    Overall Evaluation: Very good -- enough that I will continue using it -- but some bugs still need to be worked out.

    Duration of ownership: 1 Years

    Strengths: Good when/if it works.

    Weaknesses: Not always correct. can be misleading.not 'user' friendly. user should be 'technically aware'

    Overall Evaluation: Would not recommend. Other better alternatives available.

    Duration of ownership: 2 Years

    Strengths: Great idea when it works.

    Weaknesses: Interface takes forever to load when it works. Last 2 versions will not run at all. False positives. Will sometimes correct when you rescan but not always. Seems poorly written (I am a retired programmer).

    Overall Evaluation: Its ok when it works correctly but I use other similar programs that always find different problems. I would never let it load at startup, just use it once a month if you have dialup.

    Duration of ownership: 3 Months

    Strengths: Just seems to work well in th background. After a few weeks I had 100% score and have kept that ever since. Informs when it is updating.

    Weaknesses: None

    Overall Evaluation: Very good

    Duration of ownership: 1 Months

    Strengths: Not real sure. Had me uninstall an old Adobe update I still had. Every thing else was good. I guess. Seemed useful. Every time I changed something it was checking me.

    Weaknesses: Every time I opened it it says I have to change some scripting buttons for IE. Don't use IE and avoid it at all cost. Even it says IE is unsecure browser. Too complicated for me.

    Overall Evaluation: Seemed cool but couldn't deal with the internet option prompt all the time. Couldn't understand the duplicate listings either. Uninstalled it for now.

    Duration of ownership: 1 Years

    Strengths: None with all the problems

    Weaknesses: Several listed below

    Overall Evaluation: I was an early adopter of Secunia PCI and this program is still SNL software; Not yet ready for prime-time. I cannot see how this program would of benefit to any user with all the remaining problems with it. Let me detail them: Double entries for the same vulnerable program. PSI cannot handle portable applications. Lists vulnerabilities based upon the full version. A program Install executable is listed as vulnerable and installed program. Deleted executables, like portable applications or deleted installation programs, located in the Recycle Bin listed as installed and vulnerable programs. Really?! Why is PSI scanning the Recycle Bin? You cannot tell PSI not to scan a folder containing portable applications or other applications it cannot handle due to limited programming foresight on the part of Secunia. Instead you have to create ignore rules for each and every program. I get better results from FileHippo’s update scanner than Secunia’s. Avoid PSI until a finished product is actually released.
